Jessie KiddenWomen's UPF 50+ UV Sun Protection Safari Shirt, Long Sleeve Outdoor Cool Quick Dry Fishing Hiking Gardening Shirts

I had purchased this shirt in white and fell in love with the material, style and cut, so much so that I wanted the identical shirt in teal.Upon receiving the teal shirt I was exceptionally disappointed to see that it was not the same light weight material as the original purchase in white. But decided not to be to concerned as I still like the "Columbia Type" style and decided to keep it and did not bother to try it on right then as I incorrectly presumed it to be the same cut. It wasn't till a week or so later that I had an opportunity to wear it and was further disappointed to discover the cut was very baggy. I knew the material was not the same but with in minutes I was taking the shirt off as the material was too rough and scratchy to be worn directly against the skin. It felt like I was wearing a canvas tent. I did not return it as It will make suitable over shirt in the winter, however this was not its intended use. This was a disappointing purchase as the first shirt in white was perfect.

I bought several of these because I spend a lot of time outside and like to cover up rather than put on sunscreen, so I was hopeful these would be cool in the blazing sun. I’m not disappointed at all! They’re very comfortable in any environment, really well constructed and designed, with a flattering fit and cute details. Highly recommend!

Recieved this order today. I have laundered it and the wrinkles came right out. It is 100% polyester so it won't be shrinking with additional washes. I ordered a medium in the 5055 Pink. It is what I call a blush pink. Beautiful summer pink. It is lightweight and will be a wonderful addition to my summer hiking or Teams call wardrobe. If you are on the fence about ordering it, you won't be disappointed. I love how you can roll up the sleeves and they stay up with the fasteners. Cute detail there as well with a little black and white striped catch. Adorable!

I bought these shirts to increase my wardrobe of quick-dry shirts for a trip to a tropical country. I had to iron them when I took them out of the package. Washing wasn't enough to get the wrinkles out. But once ironed, they stayed reasonably unwrinkled for my trip, and they remain so after another wash and hang-dry. I have more expensive brand shirts of this type that wrinkle slightly less, but these are ok. My other shirts use snap closure instead of buttons. Snaps are easier to manage when you roll the sleeves up and use the tab to keep them in place. But the buttons worked well enough and the price was great! The fabric was comfortable and not see-through. And I'm a bit big-busted: the cut was generous enough to avoid gapping at the button front. I like these shirts a lot, and they have worn well through a 95-degree trip.

Not totally wrinkle free, but the sort of silky fabric that is drapey, so doesn't matter. Very thin fabric but not see-thru. Had to have sleeves shortened on Small, so ordered blue in X small and that fit fine.( 5'1", 104#)Can't speak to stretch...not a stretchy type shirt. Washed well, . Don't know about coolness as I have not worn it on a hot day.

I took this on expedition cruise to Amazon. It was hot and humid but this shirt was light enough to wear so my skin was protected. I could wash it at night and it was dry by morning so I could wear it again. Would be good for an African safari

UPF ?:I had a minor surgery on my arm and the dermatologist said the #1 most important thing I can do is keep the scar protected from the sun for at least a year. So here I am, preparing to spend the spring and summer in UPF long sleeves, yay! This shirt is thinner than I expected, to the point that I can't trust that it's actually UPF 50+, not to mention the tag on the shirt says UPF 40+ (see second photo). The fabric is translucent and you can clearly see your hand through the shirt if you hold it up to the light (I tried to take a photo one-handed. It's not the best picture, but you can see my fingers through the fabric.) I have since looked at some other UPF 50+ clothing in stores to compare, including a very similar Columbia shirt. Though the material on name brand UPF 50+ clothing was also thinner than I would expect (which was slightly reassuring about this shirt), it was not quite as translucent.Overall Look and Feel:I'm not sure how to think of this top. It is definitely lightweight. The material is what I would call flowy. It seems like it would be great to wear hiking, it's so lightweight you would barely know you're wearing it. But because the material is so thin, it makes the shirt look pretty formless, and it just sort of drapes over your body instead of looking like a traditional Safari shirt or button up.Sizing:I'm 5'5" 150 lbs, usually in between small and medium. I ordered a size medium because I wanted to make sure I could button the shirt... It's HUGE. I put it on and actually laughed. It felt like I was wearing a parachute over my body.I'm debating ordering a size small in this shirt, to see if I could make it work. I'm thinking of also buying a Columbia to compare the two. But in the back of my mind I can't help but wonder about how much UV protection this shirt would actually give me, and that's all I'm really after.

I liked the color and it appeared to be well made. I didn't keep it as I was going to use for travel to Europe and I felt that the fabric was too thin. It would be great for summer travel as it has SPF 50 and would be good protection from the hot sun. I highly recommend it for fishing or riding in a boat.

Returned is really too big

I purchased this shirt for a trip to North Africa, so was disappointed to find that it only offers 40+ UV protection, not the 50+ indicated. I also wanted the 'interior locker loop' mentioned in the description for easy hanging for drying, but it is missing.Overall, however, I prefer the fabric of this item over the Columbia shirt of the same style. Others mentioned how thin the fabric is, but to me that is an asset. It feels more breathable, especially if your skin detests man-made fabrics as much as mine does.The size runs large. I am 168cm and 55kg (slightly built). The XS is plenty big enough.I don't know if this shirt will ultimately be suitable for its intended use, but I guess it will be handy for gardening in the Australian sun.

Just what I needed for when I walk and it’s sunny. It’s also lightweight and stylish.
